A DEEPLY personal story being served up in this episode. It's a little painful to relive but I wanted to do it so you know that:

  • You're not alone in these challenges of motherhood and entrepreneurship
  • You CAN overcome and GROW from these hardships
  • There is support no matter how alone you feel right now

For months after coming back from maternity leave, I’d made a total of $0 in my business and was relying solely on my husband’s wages and savings from government maternity allowance to get by. While I felt incredibly lucky we could afford to do that, I knew D-Day was coming:

The date our savings would run dry and I’d need to give up the business in search for a “real job”.

I didn't realise that being a business owner would make me feel like such a failure. I was a financial burden on my young family and felt overwhelmingly LONELY - I told myself that that came hand-in-hand with being a solopreneur and a mother.

At this point, I only had one month of financial runway left in our savings to make it work before I’d have to quit and look for a “real job”. I needed some SERIOUS inspiration.

But not from the super well-known, 6-figure month revenue earners (although this was certainly the future goal!). Their lives seemed so different and unattainable then.

  • I sought out mothers like me - a few years into business, prioritising their freedom lifestyle goals and earning the money needed to make that a reality.
  • I got to see that there were women out there who’d created the perfect balance of spending time on business and time to enjoy adventures with their children.
  • I immersed myself in a support circle that didn’t see business as a competition. They never hesitated to share their knowledge because they truly cared about lifting other women up.
  • And because they were willing to share their deepest darkest failures, their expansive business wins and their huge financial goals, it normalised it all for me so I believed I could do it too.​

3 months later, not only had I dodged the need to give up my business - I had my highest income month since returning from maternity leave.
